Hi,

Very OT but wouldn't it be nice to only pay for the stuff you watched.
That might wake the BBC and ITV up a bit. The b&&^&& channel ids
annoy the hell out of me an I won't watch a channel with them on.
That means I don't watch BBC3/4 ITV2/3 even though I could.

I'm not the only one. The only data I could find on channel id
(logos) was research done by BBC choice: 29% of viewers didn't like
them but 78% of viewers said it would not affect their viewing. The
last bit is pure spin. The truth is:

29% of viewers didn't like them.
22% of viewers said it WOULD affect their viewing.

So the decision to have logos disenfranchises almost 1/4 of viewers.
No viewers have said they like logos. And the explanation that
viewers need this to tell them what channel they are on is pure
rubbish. I've sure everyone knows to press select to find that out!

So my vote goes for paying on a channel per channel basis. Perhaps
less money on the logo'ed channels might finally wake them up to what
suits all viewers - NO LOGOS.

Super idea. Does that mean that if I only watch BBC then Tesco and
the like will charge me less for my shopping?
